Age to Feed Hogs.

Prof Sanborn. of the Missouri Agri-
cultural College. has been making
some very careful experiments as to
what age it is best TO feed and dispose
of hogs. A good thrifty shoat weigh
ing fifty pounds, il properly fed. will
gain one pound per day. A hog weigh
ing three hundred and fifty pounds
will require twice as much food as the
pig Of fifty pounds to make it gain
the one pound per day. This clearly
establishes the fact. if the premises be
true. that it does not pay to keep hogs
over nine months of age. when they
can and should weigh two hundred and
seventy-fve pounds Feed so as to
have a continuous growth TO eight or
nine months of age. when it will not
pay as well to keep them any longer.
This is the conclusion Prof. SanbOrn
has come to. Previously to the an
nouncement OF his experiments, it had
become the general opinion that early
maturity was tho most profitable But
the mass of hog feeders were not
aware that it took twice as much
feed TO produce pound of pork
on hog fifteen months old. as il dill
on one five months old. But it is pretty
conclusive Sanborn's experiments are
nearly reliable. -Des Aoincs Register.

A Oueenly ConIurer.

But few persons are aware of the
fact that Queen Marie Henriette of
Belgium is one of the cleverest con-
jurers in Europe. When in 1882 the
famous magician, Prof. Hermann,
arrived at Brussels on his way to the
sea baths at Ostend, one of the Queens
chamberlains called at his hotel and in
quired If he was the same Prof. Herr
mann who had formerly given sleight-
of-hand performances at the palace of
Queens father, the Archduke Palatine
of Austria. On ascertaining this to be
fact be informed him that her Majesty
would be glad TO receive him in private
audience the next day. The Queen re-
ceived him most kindly. and after talk
ing of old times expressed a wish to
learn sleight-of-hand. Prof. Hermann
gladly consented to teach her his tricks,
and during the following four weeks he
spent daily several hours in initiating her
as an adept of the Black Art. OF course
these lessons took place with locked

of insisting that nobody should be pre-
sent besides his royal pupil and himself.
The Queen displayed remarkable tai
ent in acquiring the art, and many were
the tricks which she subsequently prac-
ticed on her family and attendants.
Prof. Hermann, who died three weeks
ago leaving an enormous fortune, alb
colnfiv ,.aftls IN aopapt any rnrunpra-
ton for his services; the Queen, how
ever. met the difficulty by sending a
magnificent bracelet and pair of dia-
mond earrings to the professors wife.
Only short time before his death he
received an autograph letter from the
Queen congratulating him in the kind
est manner on his SEVENTEEN birthday,
and adding 'sDo not be afraid. l have
not divulged your secrets to any one."

Story ola Hat.

Irish Times: A curious story regard

House of Commons. 1t appears that
ON recent Friday night an elderly
member, who is said to be of Jealous
disposition. and, moreover, is possessed
of young and (of course) cookbook

other members hat. On the following
morning after breakfast he discovered
the strange hat on his hat stand and on
closer inspection found that it was gar
nished inside with initials, above which
was a strange crest. The green-eved
monster was instantly at work. espe-
cially as his wife had returned from
the South of France during ais absence
at the House on the previous evening.
His favorite chapeau of course being
missing, he Immediately Intercepted
his wife as 10 who was her escort.
The innocent dame was highly indig-
nant and holly denied the impeach-
ment, Selling his debrett the honora-
bic member traced the offending hat to
its lawful owner, and, journeying to his
solicitor, indited a very strong epistle
t. &C est son Of a peer who sits on
de of the House. threat
OnIng him with all sorts of penalties
for the insult offered To his honor.
The young scion of nobility immedi-
ately grasped the situation. having

and kept up the joke by sending the
enraged husband solicitors letter.

bat from the cloak room of the House

made a mistake, and he forthwith
made personal apology.
